...But I see where the real problem is. You - obviously - don't understand what a "hash" is. It's not the stuff you smoke!...

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good one!

Could someone suggest a good SHA-1 app (preferably GUI) for Windows?

Signing HashTab. Right click on file -> properties and go to file hashes tab. It calculates MD5, SHA-1 and CRC32 hashes automatically. There is also option to compare it to either of three values. Simple and straightforward.

the hashtab website says it supports all windows platforms but the previous version has an x86 and x64 version. does 2.00 work on x64 as well?

edit: nvm. just looked at the updates and it fixes something for x64 bit windows. so i guess it does work :)

Interesting looking. How well does it work for large files like this though? When you click onto that tab, does it grind through all those checks automatically?
Once you click the tab it starts hashing automatically (in a separate thread, so it won't halt the GUI). It shows a nice progress bar as it goes along. You can decide which hashes it will show by right clicking and going into the "very straight-forward" settings window. After trying out a bunch of hashing programs, I find this to be the easiest non-disturbing method to quickly check hashes.

Try it out. I'm sure you'll like it.

nice to know however i seam to be having and issue with my subscription. right now it is showing however it is grayed out. not too sure what is up with that. worked for Vista not sure why XP would be any different.

it means your (and mine) subscription level isnt high enough

I guess you cant do anything with the basic "register with the website" and maybe get a couple of newletters - you have to be using the pay-service memberships (about $1000 / person)

;(

I was troubled also, I thought - cool - now I dont have to make it w/ SlipstreamXP !

Yeah man, posted ALLLLLLL the way back on May 2nd 2008. That WAS a long while ago, wasn't it?

I never said May 2nd. It was posted before that, but hey, by your sarcasm I can tell you obviously know so much more about it than I do. I won't even bother to explain to you why the date of the post is irrelevant. Do a little research before you question someone's knowledge.

ty my friend.

One last question, i have my own LEGIT VLK key. Can i install this release, with my key correct ? I mean, it'll just work fine correct ?

If you have volume license key then yes. If you have retail key using it on volume XP won't work, use/downlad retail setup. Same goes for OEM key (sticker on your computer).

Edit: Did you ask for slipstreamed XP SP3 MSDN release (above) or original XP release?

The MSDN release, as only the info for the VL was posted here. I don't want to grab an ISO from a torrent and trust the hashes posted on the torrent site. I guess I'll have to trust that you got that hash from MSDN. It's the same string that I've seen elsewhere.

Thanks.

Don't worry. I'm not interested in what you're going to do. What you do is your business. :) Just wanted to make sure I got your question right.

The hash is correct. It's been posted many times on Technet forums (where I got it) and you can see it from screenshots posted by MSDN subscribers asking which one to download (volume or retail). You can verify it yourself by going through forums/press releases on Microsoft's site.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
